Aggi Pakistani Men

Feroz Khan, who killed Skander Rehman because he believed, wrongly, he was having an affair with his wife
A 20-year-old gunman who shot dead a "thoroughly decent young man" out of misplaced sexual jealousy has been told he faces spending the rest of his life behind bars.
Feroz Khan blasted Skander Rehman in the back of the head at point blank range after luring him to a Bradford park because he wrongly believed his victim had been having an affair with his wife.
But Leeds Crown Court heard 20-year-old university student Skander had rejected the girl's advances out of decency and loyalty to Khan.
Sentencing Khan to detention for life, Judge James Stewart, QC, told him: "This was a planned offence, a cold-blooded execution of a young man who had his whole life in front of him, for no other reason than you wrongly thought he had disrespected and been disloyal to you. Your behaviour has sent shock waves through your community. In my judgement you are a highly dangerous young man who has access to guns."

Protest at halal meat use at school

Mums have criticised an Oxford school for serving halal meat in children's lunches without their knowledge. Parents of pupils at Rose Hill Primary School, in The Oval, were angered by a letter they received from headmistress Sue Mortimer.
It informed them the halal meat had been used in all school meals as part of the school's inclusion policy.
The letter said the reason for the decision was that since halal meat was not forbidden by any religion or culture, its use would allow everyone to choose a meat dish for lunch.
But said they were upset by news the school had become the first primary in the county to ask caterers for all meat dishes to be halal, for a trial period.
Lyndsy Johnson, said: "I am angry that the headmistress seems to think she can do anything she wants without informing parents.
